[Hungary] The Hungarian State Scholarships 2009-2010 for Foreigners

Call for applications for foreigners for Hungarian state scholarships 2009-2010

The Hungarian Minister of Education and Culture offers scholarships for foreign students and professors of higher education institutions as well as research fellows who intend to gain further professional experience in Hungarian institutions of higher education or research. Scholarships can be applied for under two systems:

  • Bilateran Agreements
  • Scholarship Pool

BILATERAL AGREEMENTS

The Hungarian Scholarship Board (hereinafter HSB) welcomes applications by citizens of countries that have a valid/effective educational co-operation programme with Hungary, or a bilateral agreement signed by the Ministry of Culture and Education of Hungary and the relevant ministry of the given country. Assessment and shortlisting of applications is conducted by the relevant home country scholarship authority or Ministry of Education, as well as dissemination of all information regarding the application procedure and deadlines. Although the Hungarian Scholarship Board accepts applications from these countries submitted directly to its Office, please note that the applications evaluated and forwarded by the home country authorities always take precedence.

Countries whose citizens may apply only on the basis of bilateral agreements:

Afghanistan, Yemen, Mongolia, Palestine, Ukraine, and Vietnam.

SCHOLARSHIP POOL

In 2005 the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Hungary established a “scholarship pool”, a scholarship system of various types of scholarships, allowing for applications from the following countries: Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Colombia, Cyprus, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Korean Republic, Kuwait, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Mexico, The Netherlands, Norway, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Russia, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom.

Citizens of Austria can also apply for Hungarian scholarships through the Stiftung Aktion Österreich-Ungarn (www.omaa.elte.hu).

SCHOLARSHIP TYPES

Applicants can apply for all scholarship types in the “scholarship pool” system. The scholarships offered in the bilateral agreements announced by the foreign partners are also categorized according to these scholarship types. In some cases the co-operation programme/ bilateral agreement does not contain all the scholarships listed under the pool programme, hence they may not figure among the scholarships announced by the partner office. For citizens of countries that have a bilateral agreement and a partner scholarship office it is recommended to submit their applications directly to HSB, in the pool system, in case the bilateral agreement does not allow for a specific type of scholarship listed in the pool programme.

The following scholarships are available for in the Academic Year 2009/2010:

  • A – semester / partial studies (3-10 months)

    This is Chief Williams Fostine,from Effiduase Village in Obuasi, Ghana- West Africa. Actually, I am traditional Chief here in Ghana governing the Village of Obuasi where I have many hectare of land of Gold, inherited by my grandfathers.

    We have managed to dig out about this 250 KG which I wanted to use your assistance to sell in your country. I will advise you to look for more buyer because we are try to expand our mining strategy, that means we are trying to purchase a mining equipment which will be more easier after selling this 250 KG We have been selling to people who sell out to foreigners but I have discover that they are cheating Us, that was why I decided to look for Direct buyers Or foreign partner who will assist me in the selling of the product so that we can go into a long business relationship.

    I have made the entire necessary enquiry for the shipment through a legal procedure here in Ghana, I wait to hear from you so that I can send you the procedure which will enable us to move ahead.

    My regards to your family.
